I have tried vs i did tried

The correct phrase is "I have tried." The use of the present perfect tense with "have tried" is the appropriate form to indicate an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present. "I did tried" is incorrect because the past simple form "did" should be followed by the base form of the verb, which is "try" in this case.
